This is a listing of the Members of Organization XIII that appear in the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series. Visit the main characters index [[Characters/KingdomHearts here]] for other characters who appear in the series.

A group of thirteen ([[VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2 temporarily fourteen (sort of)]]) villains introduced in ''Chain of Memories'' and ''358/2 Days''. When someone with a strong heart is turned into a Heartless, the discarded body gets up with a life and will of its own as a Nobody. This group of particularly powerful Nobodies, who were able to retain human form on top of "existing" in the first place, seeks to regain their hearts at whatever cost.

For most of their human forms go [[Characters/KingdomHeartsSupportingOriginals here]], with the exception of Xemnas's [[spoiler:and Xigbar's]] human forms which are [[Characters/KingdomHeartsXehanort here]], and Roxas' human form which is [[Characters/KingdomHeartsDestinyIslandsTrio here]]. ----

!Organization XIII[[folder:General]]

While the Organization is a pretty varied group, the following tropes are universal throughout the Organization:----* AwesomeMcCoolname: Lexaeus, Axel, Vexen, Luxord, and Roxas. Xemnas' name is really cool, too, for [[PerfectlyCromulentWord slithering off the tongue]]. As a result, it certainly ''sounds'' imposing.* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Several members of the Organization return in ''Dream Drop Distance'', revived as humans. Some have taken HeelFaceTurn opportunities or are implied to have, but others are even worse than they used to be.]]** DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler: Literally, in a somewhat bizarre sense, for those who underwent {{Heel Face Turn}}s as a result.]]* BadassBookworm: Half of the gang were {{Mad Scientist}}s before they got their EvilMakeover. Or rather Xehanort, Even, and Ienzo were, while others appeared to be apprenticed to [[EmperorScientist Ansem]] for other ventures than his scientific ability.* BadassLongcoat: All of them wear those awesome black coats.* BetaTestBaddie* BlackCloak* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: ... and [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Larxene]].** MrFanservice: Except Larxene, as mentioned above.* BossBattle: Every last one, at least once.** BonusBoss: Every last one, in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII [[UpdatedRerelease Final]] [[NoExportForYou Mix+]]'', by way of the Cavern of Remembrance.* {{The Chessmaster}}s: Though Xemnas [[spoiler:and Xigbar]] above all.* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder* CoDragons: Sa´x and Xigbar. The former is more of an administrator/enforcer, handing out missions and punishing dissenters, while the latter keeps to the background.* CursedWithAwesome: Congrats on being turned into a Nobody! Even if you lose your heart, you now have access to either one of several unique abilities (energy projectile, polymorphism, super strength) or if you were of strong will before losing your heart you can retain physical and magical ability you had in life.* DeathInAllDirections: Most of them have some very powerful abilities which wreck mass havoc and kill nearly anything in range(Which is some cases is larger than a football field.)* ElementalPowers: Each member has some sort of affinity. Some of these are a bit unintuitive: for instance, time is an attribute, but represented in-game only as putting timers on things. Xemnas' Nothingness manifests as tentacles and red energy beams (Ethereal Blades), which at first glance doesn't seem to have much to do with ThePowerOfTheVoid. Nothingness is actually a material (essentially flesh; it's what Nobodies are made of) that can be hardened into energy, or manipulated as appendages and is inimical to everything in the Light and Dark Realms (hence the "void" part). This counter-intuitive approach to ElementalPowers causes occasional confusion.** ElementalRockPaperScissors: They will also absorb the element they possess and will receive very heavy damage from the one they are weak to. Due to the element system in ''II'' not accounting for "water" element spells, however, this leads to the odd situation where Demyx is counted as an "ice" element enemy, and weakened more heavily by ''fire'' spells.* EvilVersusEvil: They got into a hard competition with Maleficent and her allies for the claim of Kingdom Hearts. Since they had more knowledge about the powers of darkness, they were for a time one step ahead, but when [[spoiler:Maleficent and Pete [[EnemyMine allied with Sora, King Mickey, and the rest of the group in the endgame]]]], they eventually lost the game to them. * FiveBadBand: Due to about half of them being central antagonists in ''Chain of Memories'' and the other half in ''II'', they form two:** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'':*** BigBad: Marluxia*** TheDragon: Larxene*** EvilGenius: Vexen*** TheBrute: Lexaeus*** DarkChick: Zexion*** SixthRangerTraitor: Axel** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'':*** BigBad: Xemnas*** CoDragons: Saix and Xigbar*** TheBrute: Xaldin*** EvilGenius: Luxord*** DarkChick: Demyx*** SixthRangerTraitor[=/=]DefectorFromDecadence: Axel* {{Flanderization}}: A few of them canonically get it in ''358/2 Days''.** May also count as FridgeBrilliance, since Nobodies fake a personality based on strong memories and habits. * FlatCharacter: Roughly half of them, since it's kind of hard to make thirteen well-rounded individuals when they're [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters sharing spotlight in a cast of hundreds.]]* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:Xehanort's entire reason for forming the Organization was to gather together 12 new hosts. He's already begun the process of taking over Braig/Xigbar and Isa/Sa´x, explaining why their eyes turned gold and their hair is of a lighter color than in ''Birth by Sleep''.]]* HumanoidAbomination: They are described as living rifts in the way things work: their existence defy the natural laws of the universe in a way that the Heartless do not. Since the very basis of their lives breaks physics (or whatever passes for it), they gain tremendous power over the arcane and the elemental. Doubles as a BishonenLine.* ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: Based on those we've seen pre-transformation. Aeleus, for instance, looks the same as Lexaeus, but the Nobodies who lost their heart at a young age (Zexion, Axel, Sa´x) all continued to age normally. This could also be a case of NotAllowedToGrowOld.* InTheHood: All of their coats have hoods attached to them and all of them at one point or another are seen wearing it up.* ItWasWithYouAllAlong: In ''Dream Drop Distance'', Sora learns that [[spoiler:Xemnas and Xigbar purposefully concealed from the Organization the fact that Nobodies can naturally develop a new heart over time. The promise of hearts was to string them all along, while he convinced them all that any emotions they had were fake which isolated them and kept them from maturing a new heart leaving them as potential empty vessels.]] Sora is suitably outraged by this revelation.* JokeWeapon: All fourteen have one in ''358/2'''s Mission Mode if they've equipped the Casual Gear; everyone but Roxas, Axel and Xion with the Mystery Gear.* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: The second Organization XIII formed in ''Dream Drop Distance'' is [[ApocalypseCult considerably more terrifying than the original]], having done away with any [[QuirkyMinibossSquad quirky]] or [[PunchClockVillain anti-villainous]] members.]]* LackOfEmpathy: [[spoiler:Or so Xemnas leads them to believe.]] Many of them display it, eagerly embracing the idea that they have no hearts.* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn8MMetAsfs "Another Side"]], various remixes of which appear as battle themes and other themes relating to the group.* LetXBeTheUnknown: The "X" theme is [[spoiler:a mark of Xehanort's ownership, otherwise known as the "Recusant's Sigil"]].* LightningBruiser: While normal boss fights against them vary, as BonusBoss fights in the ''[[UpdatedRerelease Final Mix+]]'' just about all of them are this in at least one phase of the fight.* MadeOfEvil: They are made of Nothingness, a neutral malleable form of flesh that is separate from Light and Darkness and therefore harmful to things made up of either of those.* MesACrowd: [[spoiler: They're an integral part of one orchestrated by Xehanort to recreate the thirteen incarnations of darkness needed to forge the χ-blade. Xehanort intends to use his own dark heart split across all the members to achieve this.]]* NamedWeapons* OnlyOneName: When renamed by Xemnas, they all only retained one name. Whether or not this is always true of their times as being humans is unknown, but also seems to be the case by the looks of those we've seen.* PersonalityPowers: All of the members have a personality that fits their "Attribute," though a few fit in non-typical ways.* PersonOfMassDestruction* RedBaron: All of the members except Xion have nicknames to this effect.* SignificantAnagram: Their names are actually scrambled versions of their past names with an X added. However, not all of their past names are known, [[spoiler:and Xemnas technically used someone else's name.]]** [[spoiler:Xion's name is the letter X added to the phrase "No. ''i''", with the number ''i'' being an imaginary number.]] It [[CloningBlues sheds a lot of light on her.]]* TheSociopath: Almost every member except for [[AntiVillain Roxas]], [[TragicMonster Xion]], and [[DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent Axel]] (and in Axel's case, it's only after befriending the other two; before that, he was ''quite'' sociopathic). Literally being heartless doesn't leave much room for empathy.* TheSoulless: Not literally, however. A Nobody is composed of the body and soul of a being with a sufficiently strong heart whose heart has been taken by TheHeartless. However, their emotionless state renders most of the trope valid.* StandardEvilOrganizationSquad* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Xemnas, Xigbar, and Sa´x have them. [[spoiler:As ''Dream Drop Distance'' shows, [[GrandTheftMe there's a reason for this]].]]* TestedOnHumans: Most of the apprentices' MadScientist ventures involved human experimentation like [[WasOnceAMan turning people into Heartless]].* TragicMonster[=/=]TragicVillain: A lot of them seemed to be decent people before they became Nobodies.* ThemeNaming: In ''Days'', most character's weapons all follow some sort of named theme Xemnas's are [[BadBoss named after terms of authority and negativity]], Xaldin's are ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming, Vexen's are [[AnIcePerson cold]] [[MadScientist and thinking terminology]], Lexaeus's are [[DishingOutDirt minerals]] and [[LostInTranslation Japanese idioms and literature references]], Zexion's are synonyms for [[BadassBookworm books and magic]], Sa´x's are [[{{Lunacy}} moon-related]], Axel's all refer to [[PlayingWithFire fire, heat, and explosions]], Demyx has MusicalThemeNaming, Luxord's are [[TarotMotifs tarot cards]], Marluxia's are all [[FloralThemeNaming flowers]], Larxene's are all in [[GratuitousFrench French]], and Roxas's are [[LightEmUp light phenomenon]] and [[TheWoobie references to the pain of loneliness]].)** As well every member has the letter X in their name.* ThemeTable: Each member has their own unique [[ElementalPowers element]], [[WeaponOfChoice weapon]] and [[RedBaron title]].* ThirteenIsUnlucky* UncannyValley: Alluded to in-universe, although it's rarely apparent to the player.* UnwittingPawn: The entire Organization was formed not to regain the members' hearts, but out of a combination of [[spoiler:Xemnas wanting to attain the [[RealityWarper reality-warping]] potential of Kingdom Hearts]] and to facilitate a plot that would [[spoiler:allow Master Xehanort to clone his heart among thirteen separate bodies, which will give him a true shot at forging the χ-Blade]]. * VillainTeleportation: Several members get in on the action. The undisputed champion of this trope would be FragileSpeedster Larxene, who even possesses a sleight in ''Chain of Memories'' named Teleport Rush.* WeaponOfChoice: Each of them has a weapon that they use exclusively. Though most are original, some are based on ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' classes.* YouAreNumberSix: All members are given a number to denote the order in which they joined, Xemnas being I and the original five apprentices being II through VI. Otherwise the numbers are inconsequential, aside from Xigbar, Number II, being TheDragon.* YoungerThanTheyLook: Courtesy of being born physically and mentally the same age as their original selves whenever they perished. Unless you consider their existences to just be a continuation of their first lives, none of them are older than 12 by the end of Kingdom Hearts 2. [[/folder]]

[[folder:I: Xemnas]]!The Superior of the In-Between (Original Name: [[spoiler:Xehanort]] [-(anagram formed from "[[spoiler:Ansem]]")-])[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Xemnas_Days.png]][[caption-width-right:300:"I'm creating a brand new world, one heart at a time."]]

->"Very good. You don't miss a thing. I cannot feel... sorrow... No matter what misery befalls the worlds. No matter what you think, what you feel, or how you exist."

The leader of Organization XIII, [[spoiler:the Nobody of Xehanort, Ansem the Wise's first apprentice,]] and the BigBad of ''Kingdom Hearts II''. He does not appear in ''Chain of Memories'', but he is referred to by others as "the Superior", and showed up in the first game's ''Final Mix'' as a taste of things to come. [[spoiler:He comes BackFromTheDead in ''Dream Drop Distance'' as one of the thirteen vessels of Xehanort's heart in his XIII Seekers of Darkness.]]----* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:Creator materials state his public mission to use Kingdom Hearts to bestow hearts on himself and the other members was a lie; his true intent is to absorb its power to reshape the universe.]]* AllYourPowersCombined: In the first stage of his final boss sequence, he can use the weapons of various other Organization members (namely, everyone who died in ''KHII''). WordOfGod states that [[spoiler:he may even have a Keyblade, as he is the Nobody of Master Xehanort's heart from Terra's body, but may have chosen simply to not use it. It was likely to keep up the appearances of the false goal of the Organization.]]* AntiVillain: Played with. He certainly tries to present himself as a person who simply wants to be able to experience emotions again. However, behind that sorrowful mask is a sociopath that wants control over Kingdom Hearts and the worlds beneath it. That's not even getting into what he does to [[spoiler:Xion]], nor does it account for the fact that [[spoiler:he was preventing his underlings from attaining hearts in the first place so his alternate selves could have more potential Seekers Of Darkness at their disposal]].* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's the leader of the Organization, and far and away the most powerful member.* BadBoss: [[spoiler:''Dream Drop Distance'' reveals just how far he went in manipulating the Organization. Not only was he directly responsible for several of them becoming Nobodies, but he purposefully concealed from them the fact that Nobodies naturally develop a new heart over time.]]** Even before ''Dream Drop Distance'', there was plenty of evidence to disqualify him for boss of the year. He's apathetic toward an unconscious Axel, he twice tried to get two of his subordinates to kill the other, threatens to punish Organization members who might fail him by transforming them into Dusks, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and he's only known to have authorized one day off a year for the Organization members.]]* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:As with Ansem, he's back in ''Dream Drop Distance'' via the time travel powers of Young Xehanort. They fade back to their original times when Master Xehanort's scheme fails, but MX claims they're still on track for the "seven vs thirteen" showdown.]]** Not to mention that [[spoiler:Braig makes it clear in ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix]]'' that he's also back as a complete being and has seperated Xehanort's heart from his and Terra's body leaving his heart in control of it.]]* {{Badass}}: Xehanort incarnation, natch. Information from within ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' and WordOfGod put him as the most powerful thing in the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''-verse. He casually rips apart a ''city'' for ammo (read: skyscrapers) to [[MindOverMatter telekinetically hurl at you]] and he holds his own against both Riku and Sora during the final battle with him in ''KHII''. ** BadassBaritone: The deepest of all of Xehanort's incarnations, and also the most void of any emotion.* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: In his truly final fight, his attacks are structured like Sora's Limit Attacks: a series of various quick alternating close- and long-range attacks while moving around quickly, leaving very few gaps between those attacks, followed by a longer finishing move.* BigBad: Of ''Kingdom Hearts II''.* BiggerBad: Of ''Chain of Memories'' and ''358/2 Days''.* BonusBoss: In the first ''Final Mix''.* ChekhovsGunman: See BonusBoss.* TheChessmaster: Especially in ''358/2 Days''.* CoDragons: [[spoiler:He and Ansem occupy this position in Master Xehanort's true organization, being his left and right hand men. Also counts as DemotedToDragon.]]* ColdHam: A TropeCodifier. Xemnas manages to both be stoic and hammy in equal measure. Being that he's voiced by Creator/NorioWakamoto in Japanese, the hammy part is pretty unavoidable. The reason is two-folded; on the one hand, unlike the other Organization members he has few memories of his human life to tell him how to emote, so he overacts to try and hide that he feels the least of all of them. On the other hand, his human counterpart Xehanort was a LargeHam, so Xemnas inherited his personality traits in that manner without a heart to actually put any emotion into it.* CombatTropes** AgonyBeam: A recurring attack of his is to snag Sora in a beam of energy that drains his HP.** BarrierWarrior: One of the few recurring bosses in the series to regularly block your attacks, throwing up a barrier of energy and then attacking while you're staggered. In ''3D'' he extends this into trapping Sora in a cube of energy barriers and firing laser shots at him while he's trapped.** {{BFS}}: In his TinTyrant form.** BladeBelowTheShoulder: His ethereal blades manifest from his [[PowerPalms palms]].** DanceBattler: His combo strings with his ethereal blades are long sequences involving [[SpinAttack a pirouetting flurry of slashes]], kicks, and even gravity-defying [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning airborne breakdancing]]. [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcsemo4Z231rjol30o1_250.gif And he does it all with the utmost grace.]] Essentially, Xemnas' attacks are just as much a beauty to behold as they are a symphony of pain the player had best avoid. ** DoppelgangerAttack: In his final form.** DeathInAllDirections** DualWielding: ''Always'' wields two ethereal blades.** FlashStep** FrickinLaserBeams: He can fire his ethereal blades like laser blasts.*** BeamSpam: His final attack is a ''dome'' of them.** JokeWeapon: Causal Gear gives him [[PaperFanOfDoom fans]]. Mystery Gear gives him heart-shaped lightsabers.** LaserBlade: His ethereal blades. In ''358/2 Days'' he has an assortment of them with several different shapes and colors, but his usual ones are Interdiction, which are straight blades of red energy.** LightningBruiser: He's pretty acrobatic and painful with his blade combos. [[spoiler:''Birth by Sleep'' shows where he gets it from.]]** MagicKnight: Uses void-based magic and laser shots in addition to battering you with his blades.** MightyGlacier: As a player character in ''Days''.** MindOverMatter: Throws entire buildings at you this way.** OneHitKill: One of the few members of the Organization to have this.** PowerFloats: In ''Days'', he's apparently above walking.** PowerOfTheVoid: His elemental power is Nothingness, though mostly it's treated as PureEnergy.** SheFu: RareMaleExample. As covered under DanceBattler, Xemnas's attack patterns include a lot of spinning and flipping, sometimes at the same time.** SphereOfPower: He surrounds himself with one for his ultimate attack in ''Final Mix'' and ''Days''.** StormOfBlades ** TeleportSpam: To the point he's able to teleport away in the middle of Sora's combos to escape.* CompanionCube: [[spoiler:Aqua's discarded armor, and not in a cute way either.]]* CrazyPrepared: Usually, in order to effectively play [[XanatosSpeedChess Xehanort Speed Chess]].* DarthVaderClone: He's got the all-black wardrobe, red energy weapons, discarded identity and a few vaguely sympathetic moments, but not the redemption. [[MayTheFarceBeWithYou It gets really weird]] if [[spoiler: you think of Terra as Anakin and Master Xehanort as Palpatine, and all of Terra's story in ''Birth by Sleep'' to be exactly like [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith the third]] ''Star Wars'' movie.]]* DeceptiveDisciple: His betrayal of Ansem the Wise was what caused him and the rest of the apprentices to turn into Nobodies in the first place.* EarlyBirdCameo: Appears as a boss in the ''Final Mix'' version of the first game, though he remains hooded for the entire encounter, and at the time no one had any idea who it was meant to be. It wasn't until ''KHII'' was released that it was made apparent that it was him.* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:''3D'' reveals that, rather than being the TragicVillain as ''Kingdom Hearts II'' (and ''Birth by Sleep'') suggested, he was manipulating the Organization, and by extension all of the Nobodies, into believing that they were nothing more than [[JustForPun heartless]] monsters, when in reality they could have easily grown a new heart.]]* EvilLaugh: When he throws the mother-of-all-beam-spams at Sora and Riku, although the sound of the blasts actually makes it harder to hear. Easier to catch when he [[spoiler:throws buildings at you in ''3D'']].** [[spoiler:His usual monotonous drone of a laugh is replaced with a rather bombastic one, which would be OOC for him except that this is justified, as ''3D'' finally shows his real colours.]]* EvilSorcerer: He commands the "Sorcerer Nobodies", if you needed a hint.* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice, both in the Japanese and North American versions, is ''very'' deep, to the point where some think it simply doesn't match his {{Bishonen}} face.* FeelsNoPain: Subverted. He is heartbroken about the failure of Kingdom Hearts but does not show any sign of sadness.* FinalBoss: In ''Kingdom Hearts II''.** ClimaxBoss: [[spoiler: He serves as Sora's FinalBoss in ''3D'', coming after some major revelations about the heart, the Heartless, and the Nobodies, and beating him signals the end of Sora's story, but not the end of the game.]]* FinalBossPreview: Two entire games in advance. How punctual of him.* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Despite being the most powerful member of the Organization (and even having, on paper, a straight up unfair stat distribution[[note]]Each member has 35-40ish points in their pool. In theory all stats are weighted fairly but Attack, Magic, and Speed are more requisite than the others. Specialist characters have less points but can rely on their single high stat. Only Saix, Axel, and Lexaeus have more points to distribute, but Lexaeus' combination of slowness AND no magic act as the most severe nerf possible, and Saix and Axel are slightly evenly distributed but neglect Str, Mag, and Speed too much for general use. Xemnas, on the other is not only a DOUBLE specialist in Attack and Magic, but does not neglect his other stats, making him a powerhouse with no weaknesses. Tellingly, Marluxia has the same distribution but is a single point lower in most categories. Since he's the other BigBad for whom AuthorityEqualsAsskicking, this is a nice bit of GameplayAndStoryIntegration.[[/note]]) in ''358/2 Days'', his average attack speed combines with the only reduced movement speed to make him the biggest nuisance to control at a basic level.** OverratedAndUnderleveled** With glide he has full movement speed in the air, however, and his airborne attacks are often much quicker and more aggressive. Practice can turn him into [[LightningBruiser a very good flying attacker]].* JapanesePronouns: "Watashi."* {{Jerkass}}: [[spoiler:Being Master Xehanort's Nobody formed from Terra's body, it comes with the territory but it also makes him the most cruel out of all of Xehanort's incarnations.]]* KingMook: To the Sorcerer Nobodies.* {{Leitmotif}}: ''358/2 Days'' gives him one named "[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Xemnus]]."* NervesOfSteel: He's hard to faze, due to over-emoting all the time anyway. He drops the act in ''Dream Drop Distance'', but comes off as even more stoic as a result. [[spoiler:Even when he's surprised that Sora is momentarily able to control the deep-dream he's trapped in, he merely smiles and gets ready to fight while [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Xigbar turns tail and runs]].]]* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: An EvilOverlord Nobody with [[LaserBlade pseudo]]-[[Franchise/StarWars lightsabers]] and Creator/NorioWakamoto's voice (in Japanese) who pilots a gigantic HumongousMecha-[[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragon]]-ship while wearing [[TinTyrant a massive suit of Keyblade armor]].* OmnicidalManiac: Hinted several times that his objective in absorbing Kingdom Hearts' power was to reduce the universe to nothingness and then remake it completely in his image. [[spoiler: It is later retconned that he was actually intending to do this in a roundabout way rather than a literal way by helping complete Master Xehanort's master plan to restart the Keyblade War.]]* PersonalityPowers: A StrawNihilist that has power over Nothingness.* PhysicalGod: The scale of his powers can only be described as this. He's able to warp The World That Never Was to fit his wishes and can destroy the entire city at will.* ThePowerOfHate: Rage and hatred are the only emotions of the heart Xemnas appears to value, believing them to be the true source of a heart's power, and they're also the only emotions he seems able to express himself when he isn't being TheStoic. [[spoiler:Likely another carryover from Terra, who took this trope to the point of UnstoppableRage against his enemies, including Master Xehanort.]]-->'''Xemnas''' (''after his second defeat''): "I need... more rage... I need more... hearts..." -->'''Xemnas''' (''before the FinalBattle''): "Anger and hate are supreme."* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: With his red ethereal blades.* RedBaron: The Superior of the In-Between.* ScaryBlackMan: In certain production art.* SequentialBoss: Turned UpToEleven. First you fight Xemnas, then you have to work through several layers of defenses on his battleship, then fight Xemnas himself again, then fight his battleship again, then fight Xemnas again, then finally fight Xemnas in his final form.* SignatureMove: His iconic moves--[[MindOverMatter throwing]] [[UpToEleven skyscrapers]] and and [[FrickingLaserBeams making lasers]] come out of nowhere.* TheSlowWalk: Seems to have taken a page out of [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Vergil's]] book; unless he's graciously abusing his [[TeleportSpam teleportation]] or flight abilities, Xemnas will approach with [[MenacingStroll a coolly unfazed]] ([[OminousWalk if not eerie]]) [[MenacingStroll gait]] at the speed of molasses, but when he ''finally'' makes it to his intended destination, he ''will'' do all in his power to end you.* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Misspelled "Xemnus" on the ''BBS''/''Days'' soundtrack.* StationaryBoss: During his boss battle in ''II'', Xemnas's armored form never stands from his throne, instead creating barriers and swinging his sword to knock you back and otherwise letting his {{Flying Weapon}}s do his work for him.* TheStoic: Most of his lines are spoken in an unemotional drone.** NotSoStoic: During one of the final battles with him, he has growls of rage. [[spoiler:When he's finally defeated, he angrily reaches toward Sora and Riku as he fades out of existence. In ''Dream Drop Distance'', he looks slightly unnerved (though not to the degree Xigbar is) when a vision of the protagonists appears behind Sora when he's giving his speech about his connection with the true Keyblade wielders.]]* StrawNihilist: Though it's sort of justified, since he's a Nobody and therefore every natural force in the universe wants him to not exist.* TinTyrant: One of [[SequentialBoss his multiple forms]] involves donning a suit of armor and attacking from his throne. [[spoiler:It's Master Xehanort's Keyblade Armor.]]* TragicVillain: Zig-zagged.** ''II'' implied he's incapable of seeing hearts as anything but burdens filled with negative emotions to be removed and fed into his god-maker-machine, due to not having one of his own and not having any memories from Xehanort to tell him otherwise. [[spoiler:Connecting ''Final Mix+'' with ''Birth by Sleep'' also implies he has some of Terra's memories and is trying to reunite with Ven and Aqua.]]-->'''Sora:''' [[SympathyForTheDevil "Xemnas. There's more to a heart than just anger or hate. It's full of all kinds of feelings. Don't you remember?"]] \\'''Xemnas:''' "Unfortunately... I don't."** However, ''3D'' then revealed [[spoiler:that Terra-Xehanort regained his memories before he became a Heartless and Nobody, and that Xemnas was going along with Master Xehanort's plans, thus implying Xemnas knew what he was doing and was not misguided at all.]]* {{Troll}}: He's as bad as Xigbar in that regard, if not ''worse''. He pretends to die a couple times, question's Riku's loyalty to Sora during his BossBanter, and he outright asks the heroes to do his bidding while playing the Victim-card, and then acknowledging that he was telling BlatantLies. The biggest example would probably be his multiple impassioned entreaties for a Heart to his artificial Kingdom Hearts and to the heroes, when he does not in fact give two shits about gaining a heart.* VerbalTic: "In''deeed''..."* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Comes with the territory of a Xehanort incarnation.* WistfulAmnesia: The only part of his human life he remembers is the time he spent in Radiant Garden, and he wants his memories back about as much as he wants to become a "higher existence." [[spoiler:''Final Mix'' reveals that he regularly visits Aqua's lost armor and talks to it, calling it "friend."]]** [[spoiler:Braig calls his amnesia into question in the opening of ''Dream Drop Distance''. It's unclear how many memories he retains and to what extent he could have been feigning amnesia but Young Xehanort and Xemnas imply that his memories returned in full quite quickly or never left at all.]]* [[XanatosSpeedChess Xehanort Speed Chess]]: Much like his somebody, he's fantastic at this. Sa´x lampshades it in one of his reports in ''358/2 Days'', about how Xemnas' plans are clearly falling apart and yet he remains so frustratingly calm and confident, as if he's still somehow in control of the situation (which he is, of course.)[[/folder]]

[[folder:II: Xigbar]]!The Freeshooter (Original Name: Braig)[[quoteright:211:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Xigbar_Days-1.png]][[caption-width-right:211:"See, that would work... if I were just any old dude. 'Cept I'm not. I'm with the Organization. Nothing 'any old' about me."]][[caption-width-right:211:[[labelnote:Click here to see Braig.]]http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/200px-Braig_5039.png[[/labelnote]]]]

Number II, one of the founding members of the Organization. Although he acts like a surfer dude most of the time, he's actually one of the deadliest members of the group.

As a human, he was Braig, one of Ansem the Wise's six apprentices. He also returns in ''Birth by Sleep'' as a recurring foe, and turns out to be a lot more important than anyone suspected. [[spoiler:In ''Dream Drop Distance'' he is BackFromTheDead and one of the thirteen vessels of Xehanort's heart in his XIII Seekers of Darkness.]]-----* AccentAdaptation: His surfer-dude accent in the English version of ''KHII'' is the Japanese version of a similar accent to reflect his laid-back attitude. It gets downplayed in later appearances, though.* AffablyEvil: He's very laid back about his position in the Organization.* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: In ''3D'', as Xigbar, despite the destruction of his Heartless and Nobody meaning that it should've been Braig who came back. It is possible that he's simply being ''called'' Xigbar, or just prefers that identity.]]** [[spoiler: 2.5's secret ending Destiny reveals he did come back as Braig, so he either prefers Xigbar or others call him Xigbar out of habit.]]* BastardUnderstudy: [[spoiler: As Braig to Master Xehanort. The secret ending of ''Birth by Sleep'' even shows that every event that transpires in the first ''Kingdom Hearts'' onwards is attributed to him carrying out Master Xehanort's plans.]]* BifurcatedWeapon: He can combine his weapons to form a sniper rifle. This got cut in the English version of ''II'' in order to keep things kid friendly. [[NightmareFuel/KingdomHearts Haha... kid friendly...]]* BreakoutVillain: Similar to Axel, Xigbar's role in the series has greatly expanded with each release.* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's extremely lax and joking, but this is all just a facade to lure people into a false sense of security to hide how dangerous he really is and what he really knows.* CatchPhrase: "As if!"* ChekhovsGunman: Xigbar first appears in Kingdom Hearts 2, where his role in the Organization is secondary to Xemnas, Saix, and Axel. [[spoiler: By Birth By Sleep it turns out every major event that transpires over the course of the series happens because he planted the ideas in Xehanort's head.]]* ColdSniper[=/=]FriendlySniper: Maybe. Depends on whether you believe he's truly emotionless. Though he was definitely an AffablyEvil Sniper as Braig.* CombatTropes** CoolGun: He has two Arrowguns, Sharpshooter.*** GunsAkimbo: He even did this as Braig, when they were crossbow-type weapons.** BifurcatedWeapon: He can combine his arrowguns to make a SniperRifle.** DeathInAllDirections** GravityMaster: Uses this to move along walls and ceilings.** TheGunslinger** {{Joke Weapon}}s: Casual Gear gives him hair dryers. Mystery Gear gives him [[InstrumentOfMurder trumpets]].** SpaceMaster: With some overlap with GravityMaster. He is able to completely change the makeup of his boss arena at will when fought in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', as well as having more control over Corridors of Darkness to attack from multiple angles at once.** TeleportersAndTransporters: Thanks to his space attribute.*** TeleportSpam* ConsummateLiar: A trait he carries as far back as his original self, Braig.* DarkChick: [[spoiler: He is this in the true Organization, being Xehanort's most chatty and least serious vessel.]]* DeceptiveDisciple* DeadpanSnarker* TheDragon: As of ''BBS'', where he was a secondary dragon, and revelations there mean he was a secret Dragon in ''II''. Revelations in ''Dream Drop Distance'' and a select few scenes in ''Days'' make it quite clear, however, that he is the ''true'' Dragon to Xehanort/Xemnas, by virtue of being the only one besides Xehanort to know ''what the hell is going on''.** CoDragons: With Saix to Xemnas in ''Days''.** DragonWithAnAgenda: Depending on how much Xemnas remembered about the Plans and his past(s), Xigbar, as the only one to remember everything, would therefore be secretly guiding him. Xigbar was almost certainly manipulating and/or providing planning for Xemnas, but whether it was a little helpful advice and a reminder, or MagnificentBastard puppetry is as unknown as Xemnas's amnesia's extent, though it's probably in the middle. [[spoiler:He, as Braig, probably served as TheCorrupter for Terra-Xehanort, given that he's been at least partially possessed by Xehanort since the events of ''Birth by Sleep'', to make sure that Xehanort's plan weren't laid to waste.]]* EvilCannotComprehendGood: In ''Dream Drop Distance'', he tries to break Sora's spirit by pointing out to him that, since his power comes from his friends, he has no power on his own. He's utterly baffled when his words have the exact opposite effect on Sora.* EvilMakeover: [[spoiler:Braig started out with brown eyes and normal ears. By the end of the game, his remaining eye is yellow and his ears are pointed, a sign of Xehanort's possession over him.]]* EyepatchOfPower* EyeScream: ''Birth by Sleep'' shows that Braig lost his right eye by being hit in the face with a ball of darkness fired by Terra's Keyblade.* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Though less so in ''Dream Drop Distance''.* GenreSavvy[=/=]LampshadeHanging: As Braig in ''Birth by Sleep'', notes about Terra's Keyblade "seems like these days everybody's got one of those", and remarks on Xehanort's amnesia "boy, this is some clichÚ."* GrandTheftMe: In ''Dream Drop Distance'', he reveals that [[spoiler:he's been influenced/partially possessed by Xehanort since ''Birth by Sleep'']]. * GoodScarsEvilScars: Take a wild guess which. Like with his eye, Xigbar received this as Braig by having a ball of dark energy from Terra's Keyblade graze his face when it was launched to free Master Xehanort from the chains that bound him to a pillar.* GreenEyedMonster* IJustWantToBeSpecial: It's implied that Xigbar/Braig is envious of the Keyblade wielders and joined Xehanort in the first place in hopes of becoming one himself.** BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[spoiler: Of course, being turned into a copy of Xehanort himself isn't necessarily the best way to go about getting your own Keyblade... Possibly subverted in that Braig willingly went along with the Nortification process aware of the trade-off.]]* JapanesePronouns: "Ore."* {{Jerkass}}* KingMook: To the Sniper Nobodies, who apply similar, but far less deadly, tactics to Xigbar. They even have eye-patches in the same place as Xigbar's.* LaughablyEvil: You wouldn't think he's evil even if he stared at you in the face.* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In ''3D''. "Let's hit these plot points in order, Sora."* {{Leitmotif}}: ''3D'' gives him [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1G3pqNJh2U "Xigbar"]], a slightly faster variation of "Organization XIII" with a waltz rhythm and a sinister string part added.* TheNicknamer* ObfuscatingStupidity: He's probably one of the Organization's smarter members, particularly in regards to Xemnas's plans and the Keyblade.* MageMarksman: He was skilled with gravity and space magic even while human. * MeaningfulName: ''The Freeshooter'' anybody? [[spoiler:The name comes from an opera called Der FreischŘtz, where the eponymous freeshooter makes a deal with the devil to gain seven magical bullets. Six of these strikes whoever he wants to, but the seventh is controlled by the devil. Considering what he [[DealWithTheDevil had been up to]] as Braig, this is an appropriate title for Xigbar and serves as a foreshadowing of his greater villainy in the series.]]* MetaGuy: He was already snarky, but by ''3D'' his jokes have gotten rather self-aware.* MoreThanMeetsTheEye* ParanoiaFuel: At the end of ''Birth by Sleep'', [[spoiler:Xehanort]] acts as an in-universe example of this for him. [[spoiler:Braig isn't 100% sure that it's not really Terra under there, and given that Terra was the one who scarred Braig's face, his uneasiness is almost palpable.]] [[spoiler:Given that he's at least partially Xehanort at the time, he's probably fearing that Terra's memories would resurface and their plans getting laid to waste.]]* PersonalityPowers: He plays with people and with gravity, it fits.* PetTheDog: Compared to [[{{Jerkass}} Larxene]] or [[InsufferableGenius Vexen]], Xigbar's attitude towards Roxas is rather playful, serving as a TricksterMentor to him. He once told Roxas that he cared for his future and he often called him "kiddo" or "tiger". He was also hurt by Roxas's eventual desertion of the Organization, showing there was genuine attachment... [[spoiler: Though considering that he was in on Master Xehanort's plan on using all other Organization members as vessels for his heart, this very well was an act.]]* PointyEars: [[spoiler: Courtesy of partial Xehanort possession.]]* RecurringBoss: In ''Birth by Sleep''.* RedBaron: The Freeshooter.* RuggedScar: He has one over his left eye.* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In 3D, he quickly decides Xemnas can handle Sora alone after [[spoiler:Sora's friendship speech makes images of ALL his allies appear around him.]] -->"Those are just words!" (''backing away'') "You - you've lost. Fine, see where your power gets you here. Xemnas, he's all yours!" (''books it out of there'') * ShipperOnDeck: For Roxas/Xion. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Though given Roxas's and Xion's true natures]], it's very likely this was just a sick joke, especially given that the two [[ScrewYourself look identical]] to Xigbar anyway.]]* {{Skunk Stripe}}s: [[spoiler:Again, courtesy of partial Xehanort possession.]] * SlasherSmile: He gave one of those when he was about to snipe Sora's head.* SmugSnake* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The North American release of ''KHII'' misinterpreted his real name as Bleig; the PAL release and all subsequent games rectified this.* {{Supernatural Gold Eye|s}}: [[spoiler:Braig's remaining eye becomes yellow after he accepts Xehanort's gradual possession of him.]]* SurferDude: But not just ANY old dude...* TallDarkAndSnarky: As Braig before he gets his scars from Terra.* {{Troll}}: See ShipperOnDeck. He also trolls Zexion on Xemnas's connection to the Chamber of Repose, Sa´x over Xemnas's true identity and Sora on his connection to Roxas.* VillainousBreakdown: Experiences two brief ones [[spoiler:in ''Dream Drop Distance'' when Sora states that even though he's not one of the Keyblade's chosen ones, he's proud to be connected to the people that are and also when Lea shows up to save Sora from becoming one of Master Xehanort's vessels. In the former, he drops his affable demeanor and reasserts in a stunned tone that those are just words and Sora has lost. For the latter, he finally starts showing real anger and tells Master Xehanort "What now?!"]]* WhamLine: [[spoiler:"I'm already half Xehanort!"]][[/folder]]

Number III of the Organization and one of its founding members. He spends most of his time trying to corrupt [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast the Beast]] for the Organization's purposes.

In his past life as Dilan, he was one of Ansem's six apprentices who betrayed him by researching the Heartless.-----* {{Badass}}: Along with Lexaeus and Marluxia, he is one of the deadliest battlers within the Organization. His absolutely brutal methods of fighting even shows during his battle with Sora.* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:As Dilan in ''Dream Drop Distance''. Aeleus mentions that he and Even are back but that they aren't stable yet, so they are currently resting. Given Aeleus and Ienzo's attitudes after their resurrections, it's possible that Dilan will undergo a HeelFaceTurn.]]* BigOlEyebrows* TheBrute: But like Lexaeus, not stupid.* CombatTropes** BattleAura: Once Xaldin starts to get low on health, he enters a berserker-like state, similar to Sa´x, where he's shrouded in green energy and the screen darkens. Unlike Sa´x and Lexeaus' Absent Silhouette, he can't be knocked out of it by Sora's efforts, only exiting this trance after a period of time. Expect to see it used more and more as the fight wears on, so stock up some [[DeathFromAbove Jump]] Reaction Commands to help expedite the process.** BladeOnAStick: His lances, Lindworm.** BlowYouAway** DeathFromAbove: He has the signature Jump attack of a Dragoon from ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''. He also commands the Dragoon Nobodies directly based off of the class.** DeathInAllDirections** FlashStep: He can literally outrun the winds.** FlyingWeapon** JokeWeapon: Casual Gear gives him broomsticks. Mystery Gear gives him dragon-themed lances.** [[DualWielding Multi-Wielding]]: Six lances, always with at least four being held up by wind currents.** OneHitKill** PowerFloats: Because he rides wind currents.** ShapingYourAttacks: Into a dragon.* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: Surprisingly enough, in ''Birth by Sleep'' Dilan shows no signs of his eventual [[FaceHeelTurn betrayal of his master]] and general douchebaggery. Instead, he is presented as both extremely loyal to his master and genuinely concerned for Ventus's well being.** ''Dream Drop Distance'' implies that none of the apprentices ([[spoiler:save Xehanort and Braig]]) willingly gave themselves over to the darkness.* CynicalMentor[=/=]SternTeacher: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]]. Xaldin is never emotionally supportive of Roxas and often snarks at his more naive comments on missions, but most of the advice that he gives Roxas is actually quite accurate and useful, [[spoiler:especially his comment [[ChekhovsClassroom about where a giant Heartless would attack from at Beast's Castle]]]]. He also generously rewards Roxas if his sidequests are completed.* EvilBrit: In the English adaptation.* HotBloodedSideburns* JapanesePronouns: "Ore."* {{Jerkass}}: In ''358/2 Days''. Just try to find a scrap of his dialogue that isn't insulting you or ordering you around. Let's not forget his [[KickTheDog attitude toward the Beast]]...** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As Dilan in ''Birth by Sleep''. He's initially dismissive of Ventus, but worries for his safety once the latter runs off to chase after an Unversed.* KickTheDog: Everything he does to the Beast. His diary entry in ''358/2 Days'' shows he's bitterly envious of the Beast, so obviously he wants to do his damnedest to make him miserable.* KingMook: To the Dragoon Nobodies, who use similar weapons to him.* ManipulativeBastard: Spends most of his time playing with Beast's head to try and turn him into a Heartless AND a Nobody for the Organization.* PersonalityPowers: He's nothing like the typical wind user. However, wind is considered the element of "Knowledge," something Xaldin had in spades. Wind can also be extremely brutal and destructive, such as tornadoes and hurricanes. Something we ALL know Xaldin, as his position of ThatOneBoss, has in spades, too.* RedBaron: The Whirlwind Lancer.* ReverseArmFold: One of his common "non-combat" poses - which makes sense, given his power and martial nature.* SadisticChoice: "What shall I leave behind? Belle... or the rose?"** For the record, ''Belle'' [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome chooses the rose]] (and to be fair to Beast, he had already chosen Belle just before that).* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The North American release of ''KHII'' misinterpreted his real name as Dilin; the PAL release and all subsequent games rectified this.* VocalEvolution: His voice in the English dub gradually grew more gravelly with each game.* WickedCultured: His wild looks aside, Xaldin seems to have a good eye for art and architecture in ''358/2 Days''.[[/folder]]

Number IV of the Organization and one of its founders. The group's resident scientist, he's always interested in new test subjects for his experiments.

Before he became a Nobody, he was Even, one of the six apprentices of Ansem the Wise who betrayed him by researching the Heartless and destroying Radiant Garden.-----* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: In ''Birth by Sleep'', Even seems to be genuinely kind and helpful instead of the InsufferableGenius he later becomes after [[FaceHeelTurn betraying his master]].* AnnoyingLaugh: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHy99AllPMk Here.]]* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:As Even in ''Dream Drop Distance''. Aeleus mentions that he and Dilan are back but that they aren't stable yet, so they are currently resting. Given Aeleus and Ienzo's attitudes after their resurrections, it's possible that Even will undergo a HeelFaceTurn.]]* TheChewToy: A villainous example. [[WordOfGod Nomura even said]] he has an "undeniable loser feel" to him.* ClimaxBoss: Of Sora's story in ''Chain of Memories'', being the first member to be rematched and killed off. The second battle also takes place during a WhamEpisode, just as important revelations are about to be made.* CombatTropes** AnIcePerson** DeadlyDisc: Giant Snowflakes actually.** DeathInAllDirections** EvilKnockoff: In addition to making the Riku Replica he can make an Anti-Sora replica mid combat in his Data battle.** HarmlessFreezing: His Freeze spell.** JokeWeapon: Casual Gear gives him a pot lid. Mystery Gear gives him a snowman shield.** LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: His shield, Frozen Pride.*** ShieldBash: And considering that Frozen Pride is covered with spikes...** MindOverMatter: His Absent Silhouette controls his shield as such when standing still.** ReverseShrapnel: With chunks of ice.** SpellBlade: Can enchant his shield to make a {{BFS}} made from ice with his Slide Break sleight.** StoneWall: Vexen's primary offense is magic but offsets his true [[SquishyWizard squishy nature]] by hiding behind his shield.* DeadpanSnarker* EvilutionaryBiologist: This seems to be his specialty, with his creation of [[spoiler:Riku Replica and Xion.]]* EvilGenius: So much that, despite his pathetic nature, [[WordOfGod Nomura]] said in the Japanese character report books that he and many of the development staff considered Vexen to be the most evil Organization member in ''Chain of Memories'', being to it "what Xemnas is to [=KH2=]" in terms of malevolence. * EvilIsDeathlyCold: He's the member of the Organization with deadly ice powers.* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Professor Hojo]]. {{Mad Scientist}}s whose work goes on to have horrible effects on the universe. Plus the [[EvilLaugh loopy cackles]]. Oh, and they even have the same Japanese seiyuu: Nachi Nozawa. Though, this being an E-rated game, Vexen's a lot less... ''[[EvilutionaryBiologist extreme]]'' than Hojo, and Nozawa's performance is significantly less frightening.* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Either stabbed in the back or immolated.* FourIsDeath: He's the first of the Organization to be destroyed.* GreenEyes: Of the crazy, way-too-bright variety. * HisNameIs: He ends up being executed by Axel for trying to tell Sora about Roxas.* InsufferableGenius* JapanesePronouns: "Watashi."* {{Jerkass}}: He ''loves'' to insult everyone else's intelligence.** May also be a bit of a JerkassWoobie, being TheChewToy and dying a particular horrible death while begging for his life. ** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Well, a [[DownplayedTrope void of bronze]]. While Vexen acts like quite the {{Jerkass}} around Roxas, almost as soon as Roxas begins making progress, despite it being mostly insignificant, he's quick to praise him, and even mildly respectful at the end. Mildly... This could be due to his memory of Even, who seemed proud and relatively friendly and a rather decent guy overall. [[spoiler:It could also be due to the fact that he's developing a heart of his own, as revealed in ''3D''.]]* LargeHam * MadScientist* NoblewomansLaugh: Tatsuya Kando, [[TheOtherDarrin his original seiyuu]] from ''Chain of Memories'', gave him one. Since it was [[NonDubbedGrunts the only voice clip of his left in]], fans immediately thought that Vexen [[SissyVillain was as effeminate as one could get]].* ParentalSubstitute: His previous self, Even, was one of those responsible for raising Ienzo (Zexion). * PersonalityPowers: Wields ice and is fairly cold.* RandomPowerRanking: Vexen thinks that just because he's number IV, he thinks he's superior than the majority of the members, despite the numbers meaning nothing beyond order of joining the Organization. [[note]] Though Xigbar's status ''does'' indicate his being TheDragon to the original Xehanort and thus being the only member of the Organization who knows what their true goals are. [[/note]]* RedBaron: The Chilly Academic.* ASinisterClue: He wields his shield in his left hand.* SmallRoleBigImpact: While it initially seems his presence in the series is confined to ''Chain of Memories'', ''Days'' expands on his efforts and schemes and makes it very clear that he was a huge asset to the Organization. Xemnas himself admits that his plans were severely derailed by his unexpected death.* SmugSnake[[/folder]]

->"I, Lexaeus, will not yield to the frail heart of an infantile coward!"

Number V of the Organization and one of its founders. While he's content with standing aside and letting Zexion do the talking, he's a lot more intelligent and powerful than he seems.

In his past life as Aeleus, he was one of Ansem's treacherous apprentices.-----* AntiVillain: [[WordOfGod Nomura himself]] describes him along these lines in the Japanese Character Report books.* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: ''Birth by Sleep'' shows Aeleus to have been a loyal and honorable man, before his [[FaceHeelTurn betrayal of Ansem the Wise]]. However, as said above, he actually keeps his honor even under his new leadership.* {{Badass}}: Combat-wise, one of the strongest of the Organization thanks to his massive strength.* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Revived in ''Dream Drop Distance'' as Aeleus and has undergone a HeelFaceTurn.]]* TheBrute: But not stupid.* CombatTropes** AnAxeToGrind: His "axe sword" Skysplitter, though in ''Chain of Memories'' it was classified as a tomahawk.** BattleAura: In his fight in ''II Final Mix'' it starts out similar to that of a DBZ character and gets bigger and bigger every time he powers up until it practically fills the screen.** DishingOutDirt** GroundShatteringLanding: Half of his brutish fighting style is smashing the earth with FullContactMagic.** GroundPound** ImmuneToFlinching: Unless you remove his BattleAura.** ImplacableMan** {{Joke Weapon}}s: Casual Gear gives him a squeaky toy hammer. Mystery Gear gives him a moai.** MeteorMove: You expect a Reaction Command when he grabs Sora and the game shifts to a cinematic mode. He doesn't give you one and simply hurls you into the closest post or the ground.** MightyGlacier** OneHitKill** PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: His tomahawk attack.*** ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks** SpellBlade: He can coat his axe with earth for extra power.* TheDragon: To Zexion.* ElementalHair* EvilSoundsDeep: Lexaeus has a voice that is [[JustForPun grittier]] and deeper in pitch than his voice as Aeleus. * GeniusBruiser* HeelFaceTurn* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Zexion. * JapanesePronouns: "Ore."* [[LanternJawOfJustice Lantern Jaw of Injustice]]: That chin of his could cut through ''diamonds''.* TheOnlyOneITrust: His journal entry in ''358/2'' Days reveals that he considers Zexion this. * PersonalityPowers: Wields earth and is stalwart and quiet.* PetTheDog: His initial introduction to Roxas in the manga is by giving him a metal puzzle and hanging out to discuss the importance of patience and thinking as his training regimen.* PowerLevels: Actually a mechanic of his optional boss fight in ''II Final Mix''.* PunchClockVillain: He doesn't go out of his way to really antagonize anyone and is much less of a {{Jerkass}} than most of the other members. Despite some questionable methods he did teach Roxas a critical skill to use when on his last legs.* TheQuietOne* RedBaron: The Taciturn Stalwart. It used to be the Silent Hero, but ''1.5 HD'' silently retconned it. One might wonder if a [[DissidiaFinalFantasy certain other series]] had something to do with it...* SatelliteCharacter: He is mainly characterized through his interactions with Zexion and Roxas.* SorryThatImDying: "Forgive me, Zexion. This was a fight I should not have started."* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The North American release of ''KHII'' misinterpreted his real name as Eleus; the PAL release and all subsequent games rectified this.[[/folder]]

->"Then I shall make you see... That your hopes are nothing. Nothing but a mere illusion!"

Number VI in the Organization, and one of its founding members. In his previous life as Ienzo, he was an orphan adopted by Ansem the Wise, and the youngest of his apprentices.

During ''Chain of Memories'', he tried to corrupt Riku so he could use him to counter Marluxia's coup.-----* AdaptationDyeJob: His hair is much darker in the manga.* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Or at least, when he was Ienzo. Look at [[http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ienzo.png him;]] he's ''shorter'' than ''Ven''.* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: Revived in ''Dream Drop Distance'' as Ienzo and has undergone a HeelFaceTurn]].* BadassBookworm: Literally! His weapon is the "Book of Retribution."* BigBadWannabe: He wants to be the villain of ''Chain of Memories'' and its ''Reverse/Rebirth'' mode, but he is neither (Marluxia and Ansem, Seeker of Darkness taking those roles instead.)* TheChessmaster: Basically the brains of the operation when it comes to the basement-dwelling loyalists in opposition to Marluxia's rebellion. For all of his {{smug|Snake}}ness, he's a pretty good tactical thinker; his plans for Riku may have very well succeeded... [[SpannerInTheWorks if it wasn't for Axel, that is.]]* ClimaxBoss: Of ''Reverse/Rebirth'' in ''Chain of Memories'', as he [[NiceJobFixingItVillain unwittingly]] helps Riku resolve the central conflict of his story: [[IAmWhatIAm overcoming the fear of his inner darkness]]. He is also the last member of the game (but not the series) to be killed off.* CombatTropes** AttackDrone: His books act as these when fighting his Absent Silhouette.** BlackMage: More or less combines the attributes of almost every single offensive magical class in ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'', along with the Scholar from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII''.** CastingAShadow: Although his attribute is classified as Illusion, he has a notable motif of Darkness in his attacks, like [[FrickinLaserBeams Catastrophe]] and [[DeathFromAbove Meteor Mirage]].** DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud: His Cyclone Snatch which will steal your cards away with suction but only the tornado will damage you.** DopplegangerAttack ** LifeDrain** JokeWeapon: The Casual Gear gives him a sandwich. Mystery Gear will give him a laptop computer which is said to be his diary.** MasterOfIllusion** MegaManning: He steals attacks from Riku when you fight him.** OneHitKill** PocketDimension: His books can trap you in one.** RealityWarper: He has the powers to change reality.** SquishyWizard** ThrowTheBookAtThem: His lexicon, the Book of Retribution.* CorruptionByAMinor: Ienzo is the one that convinced Ansem the Wise to build the secret lab where they could experiment on people's hearts.* CreepyChild: Ienzo's role in ''Birth by Sleep'' seems to be staring... and staring... and staring some more. Now stop and think about it the fact he was still a child when he became a Nobody. ** EnfantTerrible: He was the one who convinced Ansem to start experimentation with the powers of darkness which escalated into forcing people to turn into Heartless.* DeadpanSnarker: Very heavy on the deadpan.* DeceptiveDisciple** Either that or APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil, as it is not clear as to whether or not Ienzo was evil to begin with, or corrupted over time. * EvilLaugh: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6MgIWGXRww See here for an example.]] Pretty damn impressive.* EvilSoundsDeep: While his voice was not particularly deep as Zexion, [[spoiler:once revived as Ienzo, his voice is noticeably lighter in pitch.]]* FaceHeelTurn: In his backstory, giving Ansem the Wise the idea for the experimentation on the heart.** HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Has undergone this since reforming as Ienzo.]]* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Lexaeus, at least in Castle Oblivion. ** [[spoiler: It seems to have stuck, as he's still hanging with Aeleus when returning to life as Ienzo.]]* JapanesePronouns: "Boku."* KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade: Zexion was actually in a position to become the 2nd in command. Sa´x, being a DragonWithAnAgenda, takes advantage of the traitor situation in Castle Oblivion and sends Axel to kill Zexion.* NonActionGuy: Spends more of his time plotting than fighting, and when he does, his fighting methods are rather unconventional.* TheNoseKnows: He can track people by scent from long range.* OccultBlueEyes* OutGambitted: Plays against Marluxia and fails, then has his last plans for Riku utterly demolished by Axel.* ParentalAbandonment: Ienzo became Ansem's ward after the death of his parents.* PeekABangs: But he's ''[[MisaimedFandom not bloody]] {{emo}}'', damn it! [[spoiler:Not even as Ienzo!]]* PersonalityPowers: Without a doubt one of the more cunning and enigmatic members of the Organization, befitting his illusion-based powers.* RedBaron: The Cloaked Schemer.* {{Shapeshifting}}** ShapeshifterGuiltTrip: Subjects Riku to one by turning into Sora.* ShorterMeansSmarter: Not ''the'' shortest, but definitely among their ranks. Then he again, he ''is'' one of the younger members...* SmugSnake: His youthful arrogance concerning his own intelligence proves to be his downfall.* TeenGenius* TomeOfEldritchLore: All of his lexicons except his {{Joke Weapon}}s, judging from their names.* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Experimenting on the darkness in people's hearts? Check. Creating Heartless? Check. Helping destroy his home by accident? CHECK. * UndyingLoyalty: Completely and utterly loyal to the Organization, which is ironic considering he's also a SmugSnake and DeceptiveDisciple. * TheUnfought: In the original ''Chain of Memories''. Averted in the remake, as well as in ''KHII Final Mix +''.* TheUnreveal: Zexion's weapon in ''Chain of Memories'' due to being TheUnfought. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', there is a room which displays the weapons of every member of the Organization... except Zexion's, which is destroyed. It took the UpdatedRerelease to learn what it was (a lexicon).* UsedToBeASweetKid: He only gets a couple of scenes in ''Birth by Sleep'', but this is the general impression.* VillainousBreakdown: He loses it when Riku embraces the darkness and stands against him.* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Hard to believe he's only a few years older than the protagonists. * [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Steel-Blue Hair]][[/folder]]

->"True, we don't have hearts, but we remember what it was like. That's what makes us special."

Number VII in the Organization. Second-in-command to Xemnas and responsible for overseeing every other members' missions. Underneath his stoic exterior is a raging berserker just waiting to be released.

[[spoiler:It's revealed later that his original self, Isa, was once best friends with Lea. The two even planned to overthrow the Organization together, with Sa´x becoming Xemnas's right hand to facilitate this plan. When Axel started to have doubts about using some of the other members to further their goals, the friendship turned sour. In ''Dream Drop Distance'' he is BackFromTheDead and one of the thirteen vessels of Xehanort's heart in his XIII Seekers of Darkness.]]-----* AchillesHeel: While in his [[TheBerserker Berserk mode]], your attacks do practically ''[[ImplacableMan nothing]]''. Grab one of the several claymores that Sa´x flings around during his rampage, and you can blast him ForMassiveDamage (and knock him out of his trance). His Berserker Nobodies suffer from the same weakness.* ArchEnemy: Serves as this to Roxas, even after he merges with Sora.* AxCrazy: In his berserk mode.* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Revealed near the end of ''Dream Drop Distance'' to be a member of the new Organization.]]* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler: Judging from his rather vacant expression in ''Dream Drop Distance'', Isa did not become the mask out of his own free will.]]* BerserkButton: He believes that Roxas and Xion are [[KickTheDog nothing more than ''tools'' in his presence]]. Sora, by extension, is one simply for ''existing''.** When the duo develop a close friendship with Axel, his hot button towards them becomes an all-out case of GreenEyedMonster.* BetaTestBaddie: He exemplifies this more than any other member of the Organization. [[spoiler:It becomes very tragic in ''Dream Drop Distance'' when you realize that he would have grown a heart regardless of what happened, and exactly WHY he was so dead-set on getting HIS heart.]]* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: It's unknown when it happened, but he became a vessel for Xehanort with his SupernaturalGoldEyes being a sign of possession. It sadly explains his inability to understand good, his [[{{Jerkass}} cruelty towards others]], and [[UsedToBeASweetKid why he seemed so ''different'' as a kid]]. It also explains why he wanted to betray Xemnas...he wanted his own heart, not Xehanort's.]]* CombatTropes** TheBerserker: Under [[{{Lunacy}} the light of the moon]]. It's also one of the more effective ways to play him in ''Days''.*** And of course, it's a reference to the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' class ''called'' "Berserker", except with a {{BFS}} instead of AnAxeToGrind.** {{BFS}}: His claymore, Lunatic.*** OneHandedZweihander** CriticalHit: His specialty in ''358/2 Days'': his Critical % and Crit Bonus stats are maxed, but his other stats are slightly above mediocre.** JokeWeapon: A banana... which even splits apart when you go into Berserker Mode.*** And then there's the cutesy [[MoonRabbit Bunny Moon]]... which somehow "[[SugarAndIcePersonality draws forth his personality]]"?** OneHitKill** {{Lunacy}}: Powers his [[SuperpoweredEvilSide even MORE Superpowered Evil Side]] with moonlight.** ReverseGrip** SpinAttack: Has a lot of these.** SwordBeam: Ones that resembles a FauxFlame.** ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: He does this a lot, but he keeps a lot of spare swords.* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly in ''Birth by Sleep'' as Isa when he's interacting with Lea. He also has quite the occasional quip after he becomes a Nobody.* TheDragon** CoDragons: With Xigbar to Xemnas in ''Days''.** DragonWithAnAgenda: In ''358/2 Days'', he plans on [[TheStarscream betraying Xemnas]] [[spoiler: in order to reclaim a heart of his own]] until he gave up on it [[spoiler:as he slowly becomes a vessel for Xehanort]].* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He doesn't understand why Axel and Roxas are concerned when Xion starts passing out - it won't affect ''their'' records, after all.* GenderBlenderName: His human name was Isa.* GreenEyes: When he was human. [[spoiler:This change is very important.]]* GreenEyedMonster: His jealousy towards Roxas and Xion, due to the close and budding friendship they develop with Axel. It's [[KickTheDog how he treats them afterwards]] that ultimately [[WeUsedToBeFriends drives him away from his former friend]].* GoodScarsEvilScars: The thin X on his face. When Sa´x is in his berserker state, it becomes wider and jagged.* HairFlip: [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Yes, really]]. He flicks his hair into place when he first meets Sora in Twilight Town.** If you pay attention, his hair is actually so long that, in order to have his hood up, he needs to tuck his hair into the collar of his cloak; the hair flip is him ''drawing it out of his collar''.* HateSink: In ''358/2 Days''.* [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your Most Beloved]]: In ''Kingdom Hearts II'' he kidnaps Kairi in order to lure Sora out and fuel his rage.* JapanesePronouns: "Ore."* {{Jerkass}}: He really isn't a nice person, to say the least.** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As Isa, he was a relatively sweet person before he became a Nobody.* KickTheDog: Both his absolutely horrendous treatment of Xion (to the point of a MoralEventHorizon when he enforces a LetsYouAndHimFight between her and Roxas to see who is more useful for the Organization's plans by killing the other) and how he forces Sora to "show" how important Kairi is to him (making him show he AintTooProudToBeg) and then still not giving in solely to make him angry enough to fight more Heartless.** However, ironically, this may be a subversion. [[spoiler:Since his heart had been possessed by Xehanort for a while now according to TheReveal in ''3D'', these moments potentially belong to Xehanort.]]* KingMook: To the Berserker Nobodies.* KneelBeforeZod: To Roxas in their boss fight in ''Days'' (but not Sora, that part was ''his'' idea). "GROVEL BEFORE ME!"* LargeHam: In Berserk Mode, he may be the third largest in the series, next to both Master Xehanort and Ansem.* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:Might have picked it up from Xehanort.]]--> "I may not have a heart, but I know very well how to injure one."* NeverSayDie: Nope. He wants to see Sora and Roxas die fighting.* PointyEars: [[spoiler:Courtesy of his possession by Xehanort.]]* PoisonousFriend: [[spoiler:To Axel after becoming possessed by Xehanort.]]* PerpetualFrowner: Outside of his berserk state, he rarely changes his expression.* PersonalityPowers: A two for one deal, arguably; he's usually calm and stoic, but he's also a berserker, which can both fit the moon. * RedBaron: The Luna Diviner.* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Axel's red.* RuggedScar* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The umlaut doesn't appear in any Japanese media.* TheStoic** NotSoStoic: "'''ALL SHALL BE LOST TO YOU!'''"** The redone HD cutscenes for ''358/2 Days'' also show subtle changes of expression in his cold disposition, hinting that he really isn't as stoic as he'd like to believe he is. * SuperMode: His fight gimmick. Gathering enough moonlight allows Saix to enter a berserker mode wherein he's essentially invulnerable and has far more powerful attacks, with Sora needing to either wait it out or use the Berserk Reaction Command to knock him out of it.* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Like [[spoiler:Braig]], this indicates that he [[spoiler:[[GrandTheftMe is being taken over by Xehanort]].]]* UsedToBeASweetKid: "Used to" being the operative words. [[spoiler:In ''Dream Drop Distance'', we learn why.]]* WeUsedToBeFriends: Isa and Lea grew apart after they lost their hearts.* [[XMarksTheHero X Marks the]] [[InvertedTrope Villain]]* YouGottaHaveBlueHair[[/folder]]

Number IX of the Organization. While he is more capable than Sora is willing to give him credit for, he's pretty [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain bad at being a villain]]. His fighting style, however, is ''deadly'', and for many players he's ThatOneBoss.-----* EightiesHair* AccidentalTruth: [[spoiler: "Oh, we do too have hearts! Don't be mad..."]]* AffablyEvil: Along with [[DeathDealer Luxord]] he's one of the more nicer Organization members.* AManIsNotAVirgin: In the ''358/2'' Days manga, Roxas attempts to ask Demyx about girls and the things that set them off (switches), resulting in a hilarious [[AccidentalInnuendo misunderstanding]]. When told that it's alright if he hasn't, Demyx forcefully insists that he's done it plenty of times. * BewareTheSillyOnes* BrilliantButLazy: He hates to work but is a reconnaissance specialist and also a highly capable fighter and mage as it eventually turned out.* CatchPhrase: "[[TimedMission Dance]], [[KillItWithWater water]], [[ThatOneBoss dance]]!"* CombatTropes** DeathInAllDirections** InstrumentOfMurder: His Sitar, Arpeggio.** {{Joke Weapon}}s: Casual Gear gives him a tennis racket, and Mystery Gear gives him a broom.*** ShoutOut: The tennis racket is called the "[[Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis Prince of Awesome]]" and the description says that it "looks awfully familiar..." While all Casual Gear weapons have that description, the name and shape of the weapon make the reference too hard to ignore.** MakingASplash** MusicalAssassin*** MagicMusic** QuirkyBard: Most of the time, which acts as a reference to Franchise/FinalFantasy and its "Bard" class. Of course, as you can tell, he can become a LethalJokeCharacter when prompted to.** SquishyWizard** SummonBackupDancers: The ''single'' biggest cause for hair-pulling in his boss fight. He's invincible until you wipe out his water clones, for which you have a time limit. 60 clones in 60 seconds? Not that hard. 60 clones in 30 seconds? Again, doable if they don't scatter around too much and you can track them down quickly. ''10 clones in 10 seconds?'' Good luck, because luck is all that it comes down to at that point. Unfortunately, he can force this on you at any point in the fight, and on higher difficulty levels you have to do it three times in a row once he hits critical health. Also, the water clones can only be killed with a finisher, and if you land three or more hits on one without killing it, it does an instant 20-hit attack that can leave ''you'' at critical health.*** Also, the Nobodies under his command are Dancers, which means that that rush through the construction site is him doing this ''literally''. Said Dancers are DemonicSpiders as much as Demyx is ThatOneBoss.* ComedicSociopathy: Again, see quote.* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: And HOW! Upon meeting Sora and his friends the second time he stops being pleasant and gains new, surprisingly deadly fighting skills.* DarkChick: He is by far the goofiest Organization member overall.* {{Dismotivation}}: His reaction to [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories the result of the operation at Castle Oblivion]] is relief that he wasn't sent there. When Xigbar tells him he has to work double duty to cover for it, Demyx's response is: "Roger that. Remind me to [[JustForPun underachieve twice as hard]] from now on."* GetBackHereBoss* TheHedonist: ''358/2 Days'' shows that, while not necessarily a malicious person, Demyx isn't one to really care about other people's problems so long as he has a good time. His reaction to TheReveal about Xion is to go "Intense!" and then teleport away without a second thought.* JapanesePronouns: "Ore."* JerkassBall: His reaction to Larxene's death in ''Days'' where he's cheerfully callous to Roxas over it. It serves to show that even Demyx himself [[NotSoAboveItAll really isn't above it all]].** Also, his missions with Roxas in which he lets him do all the work.* KingMook: To the Dancer Nobodies.* LaughablyEvil: Demyx has no qualms about committing evil deeds... but he's usually ''really'' bad at carrying them out.* LetsGetDangerous: [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass "Silence, traitor."]] Coupled with the first time you ever hear [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome The Thirteenth Dilemma.]]* TheLoad: The difference between him and Xion is that at least Xion actually tries fighting instead of looking for excuses.* LovableCoward: Especially in ''358/2 Days'', in which he's a lazy coward who bribes Roxas to do missions for him... but he's just so ''funny'' while being this.* MinionWithAnFInEvil: He's introduced yelling "Run, run away!" and carries cue cards to remind him of mission objectives.* NonActionGuy: GameplayAndStorySegregation aside, he's meant to be this.* NotSoHarmlessVillain: [[LetsGetDangerous He becomes this]] after Sora and his friends don't believe his [[spoiler:AccidentalTruth]] and wonder just how much of a kook he really is.* PersonalityPowers: Demyx doesn't generally fit the definition of a water user at first. However, water is the element of change and mutability. Calm and placid in one moment, harsh and brutal the next. Fits quite nicely for his CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass persona.* PunchClockVillain: He's generally more interested in writing songs than being evil.* RedBaron: The Melodious Nocturne.* SatelliteCharacter: He's really only here to be an enemy and fill the Number IX position, although he's less of a SatelliteCharacter than the similar Luxord thanks to...** ThrowItIn: Pretty much his entire personality was created by his seiyuu ad libbing, making him stand out as a character.* UnevilLaugh: During Sora's first encounter with the Organization in ''II'', they have a joint EvilLaugh... with Demyx's nervous sigh standing out kind of painfully.* WakeUpCallBoss: Aside from the somewhat literal WarmupBoss Axel, he is the first Organization XIII member to be fought in ''II''.[[/folder]]

[[folder:X: Luxord]]!The Gambler of Fate (Original Name Unknown)[[quoteright:237:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Luxord_Days-1.png]][[caption-width-right:237:"I'd rather we just skip the formalities."]]

->"If only the whispers at the top of the ladder carried to the bottom rung..."

Number X. He's suave, has a delicious British accent, and he likes card games. He views life as a game and has all the [[IncrediblyLamePun time]] in the world to win it.-----* AffablyEvil: He's just so damn ''polite''.** NiceGuy: Luxord is the only Organization member that's sympathetic towards Roxas, open to his comments and is never hostile towards him. He also generously rewards Roxas for doing well on minigames. He's not at all like this towards Sora in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' though because he sees Roxas resting within him, who had gone rogue. He was also impressed with Axel's HeroicSacrifice, and post-humously complimented him for it (in front of Saix, Xigbar and Xemnas), saying that Axel gambled his (non)-existence for something that mattered.* AlmightyJanitor: Heavily implied in ''Re:Chain of Memories'', which has enemy cards corresponding to the Organization members. While most of them have cards based on their own abilities and drawbacks, Luxord's card has the straightforward Omni-Break ability (you get ''fifteen'' free hits that can't be cancelled by the enemy), making it one of the most powerful ''and'' practical enemy cards. This is probably a reference to Luxord's control over cards and games, and Castle Oblivion being completely centered on cards and games. Ironically, Luxord never sets foot in Castle Oblivion.** Of course, since the mission at Castle Oblivion wasn't so much of a mission as it was Sa´x's method for killing [[TheStarscream Marluxia]], [[TheBaroness Larxene]] and [[DeceptiveDisciple Zexion]] with as little fuss as possible, it's justified.* AuthorAppeal: Subverted. Luxord is Nomura's favorite member of Organization XIII, but as covered under SatelliteCharacter, he has the smallest role of its members in the series.* BeardOfEvil* BlondGuysAreEvil: Has blonde short hair.* CharacterDevelopment: Unexpected of the SatelliteCharacter, but it's there in ''358/2 Days'' through the random conversations you can have between levels. To wit, in reaction to the Castle Oblivion debacle and Xion's misadventures, all of which he only has an outsider's perspective on, Luxord goes from being mildly confused at the machinations going on between members to going with the flow and enjoying his games, then frustrated with how little control he has over his own fate and later finally nosedives into depressed acceptance of his place in the Organization as the lackey and lowest ranking member.** All of this contrasts Roxas' character development, which has the opposite conclusion of rebellion, but otherwise has the same rise and fall of confusion and frustration. Luxord sympathizes with Roxas at many points.* CombatTropes** BalefulPolymorph: He and his Gamblers can turn Sora into a card or a die, severely cutting his offensive power.** DeathDealer: His deck of cards, Fair Game.** DuelBoss: He teleports Sora's friends elsewhere to even the odds. Guess how well it works out for him.** TheGambler: Again, based off of the Gambler class from ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''. Most of his battle tactics in ''II'' are based on pure luck and entirely dependent on what the player ends up doing.** {{Joke Weapon}}s: Video game discs from the Casual Gear and four-leaf clovers from the Mystery Gear.*** ShoutOut: The aforementioned video game discs are called "Finest Fantasy 13," and bear the description "This looks awfully familiar...", and bears the roman numeral for 13 on it. [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Guess what game came out a few months later]].** TimeLimitBoss: [[InterfaceScrew Played]] [[UnexpectedGameplayChange with]] - rather than HP bars, he has a time bar that depletes throughout the battle. Sora can speed it up by hitting him, but he has his own time bar ''and'' HP to keep an eye on.** TimeMaster: Although we only see him use it to give his battles a [[TimedMission time limit.]] It'd be more proper to say that he's a master of ''games'', of which time is the main mystical element.** TrapMaster* ADayInTheLimelight: In the manga adaptation, Luxord plays a major role during the events of Wonderland. After meeting with the Caterpillar, the main focus of the events is to find a way to restore Luxord to his normal size.* DeadpanSnarker: He gets a few quips in ''358/2 Days''.* EtTuBrute: Demonstrates this as Sora lands the killing blow on him. Luxord and Roxas were friends, as his last words to Sora were meant to stir Roxas. ''"How could you... Roxas?"''* EvilBrit* EvilGenius: He knows a lot about card games, and even gambles his fight on time.* EvilLaugh: Does this when he blows up the Interceptor.* FairPlayVillain: He teleports Sora's allies away to fight him as a DuelBoss, making the battle a TimedMission where they have to attack each other to deplete a time gauge. * GracefulLoser: ''"You play the game quite well..."''* JapanesePronouns: "Ore."* KingMook: To the Gambler Nobodies.* ManOfWealthAndTaste* MindOverManners: Despite having control over time, as stated above and below, the most Luxord does in his fight is set a strange form of time limit and teleport Sora's allies away. Apparently the only reason he didn't do so to Sora as well was just so he could play, and give him a fair game. Given his manners with Sora otherwise, this could be justified. Though it could just be HonorBeforeReason.* NobleDemon* OhCrap: His face says it all as Sora prepares to strike the final blow. With no aces up his sleeves anymore, he raises a barrier hoping that will save him. It doesn't. Which makes it even more heartbreaking when we discover in ''Dream Drop Distance'' what was foreshadowed all along: [[spoiler: that Nobodies can grow their own hearts and that everyone in the Organization showed signs of a burgeoning replacement.]]* PersonalityPowers: It's a bit hard to pin down a stereotype for Luxord's time manipulation powers, but given that he uses them to set time limits for the gameplay portions he's involved with, it ties into his character as a gambler and game master.* PunchClockVillain: Luxord is generally more interested in his games than to ever really wreak havoc.* RedBaron: The Gambler of Fate.* SatelliteCharacter: His main purpose is to be Number X in the organization's ranks, and otherwise has little importance to anything. He has a very small role in ''358/2 Days'', accompanying Roxas on a handful of missions in Wonderland, and in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' he's the focus of the second visit to Port Royal but leaves once he sets the crisis in motion, and the fight with him before Sa´x is pretty much squeezed in just to make sure all the Organization members are dead.* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He describes the Heartless boss he summons within Port Royal in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' as a "veritable maelstrom of avarice", whereas in ''358/2 Days'' he combines this with gambling-related puns.* UndyingLoyalty: Despite his own frustrations towards it for being left out of the loop, Luxord stays with the Organization to the bitter end.[[/folder]]

[[folder:XI: Marluxia]]!The Graceful Assassin (Original Name Unknown)[[quoteright:261:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Marluxia_Days-1.png]][[caption-width-right:261:"I've been entrusted this castle and NaminÚ by our leader. Defying me will be seen as treason against the Organization."]]

Number XI, recruited by Xigbar and Xaldin. He is given charge of Castle Oblivion and attempts to engineer a coup against Xemnas with the help of Larxene and the presumed help of Axel.-----* AdaptationDyeJob: His original sprites in the gameboy games have brown hair of an odd rose-ish hue, they become a pink hue in the console games. His CherryBlossoms also turn into the thematically similar [[TheTragicRose rose]].* AgentPeacock: Plenty of "girly" traits, but deadly competent.* {{Badass}}: According to [[WordOfGod the Ultimania]], he's the third most powerful member of Organization XIII after Xemnas and Roxas. He's the only Organization member besides Xemnas capable of multiple combat forms.** This is also reflected in his Absent Silhouette; compared to the other Silhouette battles and Org. XIII member fights in the main storyline, he has the largest HP pool, takes less damage from attacks, and some of his HP-damaging attacks can still one-shot players even at considerably high levels. * BigBad: Of ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories Chain of Memories]]''. Notably, he's one of only two non-Xehanort entities to qualify as a BigBad of the series.** BigBadWannabe: ''358/2 Days'' would reveal the higher-ups of the Organization were very aware of his treachery and sent him to Castle Oblivion to die in the first place. That, and with the true scope of Master Xehanort's plan being revealed in ''3D'', Marluxia, while needing to be stopped, was far less of a threat than any incarnation of Xehanort.* BitchInSheepsClothing: He's able to appear soft-spoken, polite and respectful. It doesn't help that his [[DeceptiveDisciple deceiving nature]] obscure [[TheExtremistWasRight his true motives]].* TheCaretaker: He's an emotionally abusive one for Namine. Poor thing.* TheChessmaster: Can play it far better than [[DeceptiveDisciple Zexion]] but isn't [[CrazyPrepared wicked fast]] at it as [[XanatosSpeedChess Xemnas]].* CombatTropes** AttackDrone: Flowerbuds that fire FrickinLaserBeams.** BeamSpam: Omni Laser.** BlowYouAway: Lots of wind based attacks to go with his PetalPower, like Gale of Severance and Whirlwind to the Void.** DeathInAllDirections: Literally being death, this power is hardly a surprise.** DeathFromAbove: His Drop Shot sleight.** FlashStep** GreenThumb** GuardianEntity: The Specter Nobody in his final form.** HumongousMecha: Pilots a mecha-like nobody with scythe arms in his second form. ** {{Joke Weapon}}s: Casual Gear gives him an enormous soup ladle, Mystery Gear transforms it into a gigantic flower stem.** MagicKnight: In ''358/2 Days''.** OneHitKill: Has many instant kill techniques fitting with his GrimReaper motifs. He can even destroy the soul of even a immortal.** PetalPower** SinisterScythe: His scythe, Graceful Dahlia.** SwordBeam: Or rather a Scythe Beam.** TeleportSpam: Becomes incredibly fond of this in his BonusBoss incarnation, to the point that he will use his scythe to play Sora ping-pong ''with himself''. He also combines [[FlashStep flash step]] with it.* CherryBlossoms: They look more like [[SomethingAboutARose rose petals]] in ''[=Re:COM=]'', however.* DeathIsDramatic: Yep.* DeceptiveDisciple* DragonInChief* ElementalHair* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He's utterly perplexed, and even slightly annoyed, that Sora consciously chooses to protect NaminÚ even after finding out that [[FakeMemories his memories of her and the friendship they shared were all lies]].* EvilVersusEvil: Neither he nor Larxene are good in any sense of the word against the rest of the Organization that they intended to rebel against.* TheExtremistWasRight: Along with Larxene, Marluxia tried to overthrow the Organization because they believe that Xemnas doesn't truly have their best interests at heart. [[spoiler:''3D'' reveals that they was absolutely right: Organization XIII was created to be vessels in Xehanort's GrandTheftMe plan.]]* FinalBoss: Of ''Chain of Memories''.* TheGrimReaper: Thematically, as he blends Western and Eastern death motifs. He uses a [[SinisterScythe scythe]], has several sleights referring to death (i.e. Death Scythe, [[DeathsHourglass Doom]], etc.), originally appeared as a [[TheFaceless hooded figure]], and his Nobody {{familiar}} even uses the same weapon (including DualWielding it in its first form) and appears in a form similar to Death during the FinalBattle in ''[=Re:COM=]''. His flowers are actually Sakura i.e. cherry blossoms that are used in funerals and signify death.* InterfaceScrew: During his final form he gains the ability to steal your cards (including the reload card) and scatter them around the battlefield.* JapanesePronouns: "Watashi."* LargeHam: In the Japanese version. Not as large a ham as Xemnas or Sa´x, though.* ManipulativeBastard: Not as [[MagnificentBastard magnificent]] as Xemnas, Axel, or [[spoiler:Sa´x]] and not as [[SmugSnake smug]] as Vexen or Zexion, but evenly in the middle.* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: DEAR GOD! Just ask the poor Namine how he interacted with her in ''Chain of Memories''. Not to mention the start of his Absent Silhouette battle has him warping over to Sora's shoulder and ''whispering in his ear''.* OminousPipeOrgan: A recurring element throughout his various {{Leitmotif}}s.* PersonalityPowers: He's brimming with Death elements from both eastern and western ends, as evidenced by both the cherry blossoms and the scythe that he carries. It makes more sense considering that his brand of GreenThumb magic is somewhat portrayed at the opposite end of the flower-themed Cure magic. * RealMenWearPink: Marluxia's main attribute is Death but his element in general is mostly ''flowers''. It is less weird due to the significance of cherry blossoms in Japan and the fact that [[WhatCouldHaveBeen he was supposed to be a woman]].* RedBaron: The Graceful Assassin.* SpinToDeflectStuff* TheStarscream* TheStoic: In the English version.* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Pink Hair]][[/folder]]

[[folder:XII: Larxene]]!The Savage Nymph (Original Name Unknown)[[quoteright:141:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20090523014929Larxene_Days-1.png]][[caption-width-right:141:"I'M a bad guy so you'll have to go through me!"]]

Number XII of the Organization and close ally of Marluxia. Gleefully sadistic, she enjoys tormenting others for the fun of it.-----* AlphaBitch: Well, the [[TheSmurfettePrinciple only bitch]], but she more than makes up for it with her cutting-edge speed and vicious attacks.* AmbiguouslyBi: She has no concept of personal space for both sexes, especially towards Axel and Namine, as shown in ''Chain of Memories''.* AxCrazy* BadassBookworm: In the Chain of Memories novel she is seen reading a book by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquis_de_Sade the Marquis de Sade]].* TheBaroness* BerserkButton: In the manga version of ''Chain of Memories'', she only began to harass the Riku Replica and forcing Namine to rewrite his heart and memory after the Replica calls her an "old hag".* BetaTestBaddie[=/=][[BecomeARealBoy Become A Real Girl]]: Averted, since Larxene [[HiddenDepths doesn't actually seem to]] ''[[HiddenDepths want]]'' [[HiddenDepths having her heart back]].* BlondesAreEvil* CardCarryingVillain: When you ''freely admit'' that you hurt people pretty much because you can ''and'' frequently indulge in tormenting people ForTheEvulz of it all, you're definitely this.* ChildHater: She definitely has shades of this, if her journal entry is anything to go by. To her credit, she does come to somewhat respect Roxas before she leaves for Castle Oblivion.** In the manga, she outright says, "I hate kids" three times.* CombatStilettos* CombatTropes** DeathInAllDirections** DoppelgangerAttack** FragileSpeedster: Larxene is pretty vulnerable to attacks, provided you can catch up to her.*** In ''358/2 Days'', she is a mix between this and a SquishyWizard.** FlashStep*** TeleportSpam** FlechetteStorm** {{Joke Weapon}}s: Casual Gear, dragonflies. Mystery Gear, lightbulbs.** KungFuWizard** KnifeNut: Her kunai, Foudre.** OneHitKill** PowerFloats** SheFu: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxaKqGL7PKA Woo]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZSrtk_kRYc boy]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khK1xgkkA_I howdy.]] Shown a lot in her gameplay. In ''Days'', it becomes more prominent depending on the type of weapon chosen for her.** ShockAndAwe** WolverineClaws: Unless she is throwing them, she wields her kunai in this manner.*** Seems to reference ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''[='s=] Claw weapons, which are usually classified as knives.* CuteAndPsycho* DarkActionGirl* ElementalHair* EvilLaugh: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d81QJDIyTDc Just. Listen.]]* TheExtremistWasRight: See Marluxia's entry.* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Like Marluxia, she's utterly perplexed, and even slightly annoyed, that Sora consciously chooses to protect NaminÚ even after finding out that [[FakeMemories his memories of her and the friendship they shared were all lies]]. She even flat-out calls him a delusional idiot.* FauxAffablyEvil* GenreBlind: Larxene, if you didn't want to go out the way you did, you should NOT have tried to destroy Sora, Donald and Goofy after they've reunited with ThePowerOfFriendship.* GigglingVillain: In the Japanese version her laughing is adorable, yet no less creepy.* GoodEyesEvilEyes: A nice subversion of the standard large eyes equal good and innocent, as her eyes are about as large as Sora and Kairi's.* GreenEyes: Hard to tell with her. Official images by way of Nomura's drawings have her with blue (which is a nice oxymoron), but in the game it looks a somewhat blue, a green, and sometimes an odd mixture of both.* HairAntennae* HartmanHips* HiddenDepths: Though the dialogue only appears in the the non-canon novels, so its validity is in question, Larxene stated there that her existence as a Nobody was preferable to regaining her heart and remniscated that having had a heart [[BrokenBird had been a painful experience]].** She also comes off as somewhat less evil in ''358/2 Days'', having a few PetTheDog moments with Roxas and [[spoiler: along with Marluxia, being given a more sympathetic motive for her treachery.]]* IShallTauntYou: Her second hobby next to KickTheDog.* JapanesePronouns: "Watashi."* {{Jerkass}}: Every bit as vicious in both words and bite as the rest of the Organization, it even shows in ''Chain Of Memories'' as her attitude towards her enemies and friends alike rub everyone the wrong way.* KickTheDog: Literally kicks Sora to the ground twice, hits the Riku Replica when he charges at her and later throws him aside while he's unconscious and bitchslaps NaminÚ. This trope is her main hobby, next to being [[{{Jerkass}} very abrasive]].* KnightOfCerebus: ''Chain of Memories'' takes a '''dark''' turn when Larxene shows up on the 6th Floor to hurt Sora physically and psychologically.* LaughablyEvil: Her sass can be quite humorous when she's around her fellow Organization members, especially [[TheChewToy Vexen]]. This is especially true for ''358/2 Days'', in which her scenes are all played for laughs. * MeaningfulName: ''la reine'' means "the queen" in French. Sora even says 'queen' to her at one point in the manga. Considering both her's and Marluxia's plans for the Organization had their rebellion succeeded, her reign of terror as Marluxia's second-in-command [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen would be played straight]].* NiceJobFixingItVillain: You really should have hurried up and killed Sora instead of providing all that groundbreaking exposition, Larxene....* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Occurs ''a lot'' in ''Re:COM'' with both Axel and NaminÚ, leading fans in [[FanFic fan fiction]] to either paint her as a DepravedBisexual, or [[{{Shipping}} pair her up with Axel]] and create something resembling a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship with NaminÚ.* PersonalityPowers: She can wield lightning and kunai. It doesn't help when she's also [[PsychoElectro an utterly demented sadist]].* PetTheDog: Her last interaction with Roxas in ''Days'' is her saying that he's "almost half-competent now" and that maybe he'd make a good addition to her and Marluxia's rebellion plan. And that, friends, is just about the nicest Larxene has ''ever'' been. Though earlier she also helped him learn magic and gave him a potion, which were also nice despite coming along with ''plenty'' of [[ChildHater verbal abuse.]]* PsychoElectro* PsychoForHire* RedBaron: The Savage Nymph.* {{Sadist}}: A surprisingly effective one at it, too. She's even able to scare [[MusicalAssassin Demyx]], though to be fair [[JerkassBall both of them don't get along either way]].* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only girl in the Organization before Xion came along. [[spoiler:She may still be, depending on your interpretation of Xion.]]* TheStarscream* TermsOfEndangerment: She calls the Riku Replica "kiddo" and NaminÚ "little one".* WitchWithACapitalB: Humorously lampshaded by Demyx in ''Days''. [[AlphaBitch It gets much worse when she leaves for Castle Oblivion]].-->'''Demyx''': "Man, why's Larxene gotta be such a witch all the time?"* WomanInBlack: A fitting foil to NaminÚ's WomanInWhite, more present in ''Chain of Memories''.[[/folder]]
